Title:
  dragging Firefox or Terminal windows to other workspace causes a hang

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I enabled workspaces and then I started to drag windows to a second
  workspace.

  First, I started dragging a few Terminal windows. I had no problem.
  Then I dragged a Firefox window that was showing a pdf that I have
  local on my system and the UI hanged. I had to to a hard reboot.

  Then I restored my Firefox windows. Then I tried to do the same thing
  again and it hung while dragging the same window. I had to to a hard
  reboot.

  Then I restored my Firefox windows. Then I had given up on that one
  Firefox window, but, at this point, dragging he second Terminal window
  across into the other workspace caused the UI to hang.

  I have not seen visible errors other than the hang. I am somewhat new
  to Linux, having been on Mac OS X for many years, so I do not know
  where these things might be logged (if they are).

  Let me know if I can do something to help diagnose this. I can run
  something manually, in a debugger, or whatever.
